Every time I try to open InDesign it won't open. I don't get an error message just a loading screen and I can't click on anything or do anything.

    Hello, is it possible to have a screenshot ?

    Are you on Windows or MAC ?

    It opens like this but I can't click on anything and if I try to open any file it doesn't even open.

    Yep, I posted this earlier!

    Close InDesign. Then hold down Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or Cmd + Ctrl + Opt + Shift (Mac), and relaunch InDesign. Respond in the affirmative to the dialog asking if you really want to replace the preferences.


    Maybe a pop up window open behind ?

    Which version of InDesign and OS?

    Have you tried resetting the InDesign preferences ?
